Rove says that calling Obama a socialist or a left-winger is improper and disrespectful.

That means:

No talk of Obama's communist mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.

No talk of his backing from the Communist Party USA, Democratic Socialists of America, and other such groups.

No talk of his extremely close personal relations with such figures as Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and the rulers of Russia.

No talk of how Obama couldn't pass a basic background check in order to get a low-level federal job.

Rove is more than a Fox News Contributor. He is the virtual Party Boss of the GOP.

Who is Todd Akin, the Missouri Senate candidate Rove joked about killing?

Akin's biography notes: "Todd and Lulli Akin have six children: Wynn, Perry, Micah, Ezra, Hannah, and Abigail. Eight grandchildren have also joined the Akin family€¦.Today, Todd continues to write and lecture on the principles of America's Founding and Heritage. He is active in the Boy Scouts of America, a leader in his local church, a former board member of Missouri Right to Life, and sits on the board of the Mission Gate Prison Ministry."

Rove jokes about killing Akin but says Obama should be spared serious scrutiny.

Conservative leader Phyllis Schlafly says Rove should resign.

She says, "Karl Rove has made himself toxic to Republicans by his incredibly offensive and dangerous statement suggesting the murder of Congressman Todd Akin of Missouri. Any candidate or network who hires Rove will now be tarnished with this most malicious remark ever made in Republican politics."

She adds, "Just imagine if someone had made that statement about Barack Obama. The Secret Service would go on Red Alert and you can bet that the author of that remark would be in jail by now."
